Mayer is still coaching

Scandalized coach Walter Mayer is still coaching despite being thrown out by the Austrian ski federation.

It’s the German newsagency SID that reports that the coach, who was banned from the Torino Olympics, still is coaching in Austria.

He is among other coaching the national army ski team and WSV Ramsau.

Mayer was involved in the doping scandal during the 2006 Olympics, and fled Italy, but was found sleeping in his own car.

He was already banned from the Olympics until 2010 from a doping case in 2002.
